42 [out of 42] 5 Star reviews can't be wrong... (too bad they are in the "Not Recommended" section (check them out for all the rave comments - look for the barely noticeable "42 reviews that are not currently recommended" link just below this review. As my new friend Maya says in her review: "Chef Mike really knows how to entertain and make delicious food! His classes are always fun and packed full of knowledge. The catering that he does is very well thought out and has a very creative outlook. I would definitely say that if you haven't taken his class, ordered catering or even met the man... Get on it! He is a true cook and only wants to make you happy and healthy!" I'm glad to be the "First" to review, and the 43rd to actually review. read more

Chef Mike directed a birthday party cooking class that we were invited to, and he completely made the evening. What a fantastic experience it was! With his wit and humor he professionally guided us, form beginners to somewhat experienced cooks, through the food preparation from cutting and cooking to arranging the plates, teaching even the experienced cooks lots of new tricks. And while we were enjoying the delicious meal, Chef Mike made sure that the kitchen was spic and span when we were done. It was an absolutely perfect evening, one of the best birthday parties ever, and we highly recommend Chef Mike. read more

Absolutely AWESOME!!! Chef Mike and his talented team made our party one to remember. I hired him for my husband's 50th birthday party and everything was fantastic. From working out the menu with his associate Molly to final clean up - everything was seamless. He started things off with an interactive sushi making session. The kids loved it and it helped break the ice for some of the adults. The rest of his fare didn't disappoint either. Amazing salmon, stir fry, pasta!!! So good! My guests, my husband and I were all impressed and stuffed! Such a great decision to hire him. Don't think twice! read more

I just held a surprise birthday party for my girlfriend last week and Chef Mike catered it. His staff was amazing and the food was surprisingly fun and met all of our dietary needs. He and his staff were very personable but professional at the same time and they made the event more fun just by being there! It was amazing how quick and efficient they were when cleaning up after the event. I highly recommend Chef Mike for any catering needs. I heard he does a meal delivery service called 941 Organics as well. I think I might give it a try! read more

Chef Mike came to our home to make a beautiful 5 course dinner. He made all of my husband's favorites, which were kind of traditional dishes. Caesar salad, Beef Wellington, and a mushroom risotto were his main requests. I was afraid Chef Mike would think this menu was too simple, but he gave everything a modern flare. He also had a seafood dish that I really need to get the recipe. Dessert was also Just an amazing experience. I highly recommend Chef Mike for any catered event. He and his team are 5 Star. read more

We had Chef Mike come in for a surprise 40th Anniversary dinner for my in-laws. We didn't know what to expect but Mike came highly recommended. I must say that it was one of the most memorable meals I've ever had. He even made my vegan wife a separate soup and entree....and that was just as amazing as our She-crab soup, and surf and turf entree! Mike was pleasant and personable, as was his assistant Zack. I'd highly recommend Chef Mike for just about anything food related you need. Outstanding! read more

I hired Chef Mike for an adult birthday party where the birthday boy and many guests had diet restrictions - paleo, no beef/pork, no nuts, low sodium, nothing fried, etc. We collaborated on the menu, and he delivered. He smoked the salmon and made a sautéed kale dish that was out of this world. The elote was perfect. He used my grill. Just as important, Chef Mike and his team were on-time, clean, and professional. They had a great sense of humor to keep my guests at ease. read more

Chef Mike is just amazing! My husband and I attended a cooking class and had such a great time! We made friends with others attending the class which made it even more fun and entertaining. The recipes were so delicious and not very difficult, which made for a fun and relaxing evening. We really enjoyed the process and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for an outside the box, fun and laughter filled date night Chef Mike is the best! read more

We invited Chef Mike to teach 4th & 5th graders on how to cook and he made such an impact on them, that they all left the class with lots to tell their parents. He was fun, informative and knowledge and kids could relate to him and had a great experience. Plus the dishes they made were awesome to say the least. Genuine guy with a love of cooking and teaching to cook. I will definitely use him at my next party. Thank you Chef! read more

Chef Mike SRQ is fun, entertaining and provides a memorable in-home gourmet cooking and dining experience. It was interactive with the whole family making fresh summer rolls, and the meal was absolutely DELICIOUS! He catered to everyone and even made a fantastic vegan meal as well. My family will never forget this unique experience, without even leaving our home, and is already talking about when we can do it again! read more

Chef Mike is FANTASTIC!! We used him for a Bachelorette party and not only was he hilarious, but he kept us so entertained and taught us how to make a full Italian meal, including knife skills. Chef Mike has a heart to help those and make cooking available to all, and Alyson was incredible and so helpful. I would recommend them to anyone in the area looking for some good cooking, a good chef, and a lot of fun. read more

Chef Mike catered a special reception for the C. G. Jung Society of Sarasota in mid-February, 2018, and the food was creative, innovative, fresh and delicious.
